Review:
I bought this phone a few months ago from Carphone Warehouse for £97.00 - a very affordable price for a touch screen phone.
Lets start with the good parts of this phone...
Applications and games - The applications include a fun drawing panel, perfect with the pull-out stylus. The games are good but do get slightly boring after a while!
Price - A very affordable price at under £100 for a touch screen. Compared to the viewty or pixon this is very cheap.
There are other good points in the LG Cookie too.
Now, the negatives...
Speed of operations - The texting, selecting images and menu is very slow. This reason is unknown to me. It takes up to 5 seconds for an image to come up when selected.
Camera - At only 3 megapixels, the camera is a slight let down. With no flash, images are impossible in the dark. The images are grainy and blur easily if moved in the slightest.
Overall, if you want a touch screen phone, for a cheap price with some benefits to it, get the LG Cookie. If you need your phone to be quick and easy to use, either get another touch screen or a simple tablet phone/other phone.
Hope this helps you, if you have any questions for me please ask as I know I have only been brief. Sarah.

BlackBerry Storm 2
Clicking touchscreen may be useful for clumsy people, but ditching the Qwerty keyboard has its drawbacks
INQ Mini 3G
Sluggish at times, and not the easiest phone to use, but it offers a great range of features at a low price
BlackBerry Bold 9700
Has everything that makes the BlackBerry format great, but other smart phones offer more innovation
